Royalty Statements at the Push of a Button
Do you spend weeks on your royalty statements, including control and manual adjustments? Let ALV do it in hours or days, at the push of a button.
The truth is that no one, besides you, understands how much effort it takes to create reliable statements. You deserve to have access to the best tool on the market and a great support team that is always available to you.
Many things in today's business environment are automated and rationalized, virtualized and impersonal. Not ALV: you always have a contact person at your disposal and are always welcome to visit us in person.
Statements that count
ALV generates royalty statements for the period you select (e.g. "3Q2019") and all licensors you check, in Excel and PDF format. It outputs:
- a high-level cover sheet of the sums
- a separate "details" sheet of all monies
- a per-work summary with subtotals
- a "Top 10 and Diagram" single-page PDF
From simple splits to weighted refunding, from territory limitations to flat-rate deductions, there is almost no math that ALV cannot handle. And if so, we'll make it handle it for you as part of our consulting work.
For each licensor, you can set the output language (German or English) of the statement and let ALV insert customized text snippets. Holding Tax exemptions, e.g. according to §50 EStG (Income Tax Act) for foreign authors, are taken into account by ALV as well as the issue of VAT identification numbers.
What if your foreign publishing partner has dozens or maybe hundreds of sub-catalogues? No problem, ALV incorporates them into a single, filter-ready royalty statement in one fell swoop.
Furthermore, you can use your business stationery with ALV and set that your logo and address data should not be output automatically to avoid overwriting your beautiful business paper.
"Vertrauen ist gut, Kontrolle ist besser"
This German adage ("Trust is good, control is better") sums up our approach: you are always in full control of all revenue flows. ALV is no black box. All processing and accounting, all data and results are yours to check and fix, if needed, and ALV helps you at every step. Actually, before long, you will fall in love with the function of "test calculation" of exemplary works across all possible income categories. Within seconds, ALV shows you if your copyright data and contract definitions are correct and lead to the results you want.
